I'm so happy for you I know exactly how you feel I just cant tell most people who I am and my family either dont accept it make fun of me shout or think I'm joking so its hard and I'm always here 😊
Im so happy for you 😅
I'm happy your happy, that's all that matters.
:)
All you need to be is how you are...!!!
I just found your Chanel from Ricky's Chanel and I subscribed to you. You seem like an amazing guy by the way. I am gay also and just came out a little over a year now and it's the BEST thing I ever did....I agree coming out is a constant thing when you meet new people or get a new job etc. it does get easier though. I also would tear up when I told people I was gay I hate when I get emotional like that but anyway glad I found your Chanel 👍👍
I used to watch your videos way back in like 2009 or so. Saw you on Ricky's channel the other day and subscribed again. :D So happy that you're happy and doing well♥
oh my god you da real mvp
I'm one of those 10k! And you're currently an hour north of me, which is cool. I'm glad you had a good coming out experience. I agree that with the new Republic shifted government we're about to have, we need to stick together now more than ever and advocate on a higher level :)
we really do!
that's cool
So happy for you!! You seem like such a lovely person.
5 years later, you now have over 12 thousand people supporting you!
I just subscribed to you and honestly I can't get enough! Your voice and the way you express yourself is sooo intriguing. It's captivating. I honestly love listening to you! I know that prob sounds so weird haha I feel weird saying it! But I feel like we would be such good friends! Haha
omg that is so nice!
Truly inspiring
I love watching this kind of videos. When I came out, 7-8 years ago, I didn't have anyone to tell me "it's ok", beside my closest friends, of course. I used to live in a really small town in a rural area in Spain. After that I moved to a bigger city when I went to college and at first I was still scared of telling people I was gay, but one day I realized that if people don't like me for being gay, they are not worth it. Obviously I can say I'm very lucky because I never had any problems with anyone and not everyone can say the same, but it's great that people like you do these videos because IT IS NECESSARY to talk about this.
I'm one of the 10K and you are such a big inspiration to me. I'm sexually confused right now. I think I am bi, but I am scared to tell people because I live in a small city and not a lot of people are supportive of LGBTQ+ people. It's hard because I want to live my best life. I have suffered from depression and anxiety since I was 11, and I started to question everything even who I loved (boys and girls). I turned to CZcams, and that is when I found out about the LGBTQ+ community. I have admired people of that community because they are not afraid to be who they are. I may have only knew you existed on the Internet for a month, but I have watched every one of your videos. You are one of the countless CZcamsrs that I absolutely love and put a smile to my face everyday. Be yourself. Love yourself. Create yourself. Don't disguise yourself. Don't hate yourself, but most importantly, do not destroy yourself.
Lots of love from a girl you may never meet, Victoria Carrillo ❤️️💛💚💙💖💜
Victoria Carrillo I am currently in a somewhat similar situation and I agree that I think it's so awesome to at least be able to have this community available to us, even though we're not sure of things right now!
Wow. I'm not even sure how to respond. You will live your best life even if you can't right now and things always get better, just stay as strong as you can and know there are so many people that love you
+Drew Penkala I DMed you on Instagram
!!!!!Yup
I just subscribed like yesterday and I'm already obsessed, you're so sweet and I love that you brought up the issues within the LGBT+ community cuz those are often over looked. I look forward to future videos, you're awesome💜
that means so much! It'll definitely be a common theme on my channel. Thanks so much :)
This is so inspirational and you have touched every single one of the 6,464 people who have watched this so far x :)
You are an amazing person. I know i don't know you personally, but when i saw a video of yours for the first time i knew you were awesome. Stay strong and will always be here to support :).
I just came out a year ago today. It's amazing to be able to say that and I can't wait till I can be in the place you are! Also i live in Boston soo please hit me up hahaha
Like I promised to watch it, I knew this vid was coming out. No pun intended. 😅 but I'm happy for you 😭 ❤️💛💚💙💜 though I agree there needs work to be done. I'm bisexual and usually people don't take that as a seriousness. Like oh I'm going through a faze or oh I can't make up my mind. So I'm not really sure to ever tell my family and I feel like I could never bring a girl home except to my super accepting mom, but the rest of my family would shun me.
Anna D
well if your family doesn't accept you for who you are, then it's their loss because everyone in the world is unique, like you, everyone has their differences, and you shouldn't be afraid of who you are, you should be proud. And if your family doesn't want to support you, you'll always have your mom to support you, and the rest of the family will have to deal with it. So be proud of who you are. ❤️💛💚💙💜💖👌🏻❤️✨✨✨
I hope this helped and that u can understand this whole paragraph 😂😂👌🏻✨loooll! ,Well bye 👋🏻✨✨
Anna D I know how you feel but a little different because my problem with my family is religion and race. They won't except anyone thats not the same religion or race from them. I hate and I think that's stupid but I sure as hell won't try to tell them that until I can get a place of my own and support myself financially so if anything happens I'll still be stable.
I completely understand. My coming out was the exact same way. My mom was so accepting, but the rest of my family was horrible at first. At my old school, people would always tell me that i just can't make up my mind. I hated it. If you need someone to talk to, kik me at mrslouistomlinson143. It goes the same for everyone else that reads this.
Debra Pishner lol ❤️✨👌🏻👌🏻
There is SUCH a stigma about being bisexual and I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. The best you can do is live as true to yourself as you can and although it may be hard to do, the people who don't support you don't deserve a spot in your life unless they can fully accept you.
OMFG YOUR FAMILY LIVES IN BOSTON! AYEEE YOU SHOULD DO A MEET UP BECAUSE I WOULD COME MEET YOU DREW!! I LOVE YOU
Stories and experiences like these are truly inspirational. Much love Drew 🙂
Thank you for sharing this.
Your brother looks so much like Ricky omg😂❤️❤️
Not really
he do look like him
Abbie Stubbs Not at all, babe.
Richard Bailey honey, he has Ricky's hair from 2014
I hope this comment doesn't get ignored /deleted, coming out is hard, period. I am very happy that you have been able to come out in a world much more accepting than a whole lot of people like me did. When I decided to come out it was at the height of the AIDS epidemic, everyone was afraid to out themselves for fear of a loss of job, fear of being beat up, of losing their friends. Not much on that spectrum has changed except the fear of contracting HIV. So many kids these days feel like it's above them, they have PREP, but for the ones that came before, we had fear, abstinence and more fear. We watched our friends die, their friends die, it was hotrible. I just want to put out there that Y'all need to be careful, respect your bodies and respect those around you. I love you all, I hope you love you too.
I came here from Ricky
Your voice is so easy to listen to and get the struggle of having to come out to different people everyday. It's so annoying because it shouldn't even really matter to anyone who you want to have sex with everyone should just be friendly and bake a cake out of rainbows and smiles and be happy ❤️ x
i need to make a post coming out video! Didn't realise Wisconsin would be like that though! What a shame
You are such a beautiful person! 😘
Love you 💜💜💜
you are the best love you
Subscribed because you seem like the sweetest guy :) Would date you in a heartbeat :P :P
❤️ ily lots, proud of how you've grown
aww, im so glad that this video has no dislikes
Lily Taylor it has 2 now
+Parker Gauldin fuck.
Lily Taylor yeah
I'm glad that your comfortable with your sexuality now😊
I love your channel. I'm subscribing.
So happy for you, Drew💞
Im here from Ricky. Totally love you now ❤️
Bc of Ricky. Like I'm sure many watched you but People grime Ricky channel Came across you from them and subscribe to you.
That happens to me they ask me if I have girlfriends but I don't answer so I understand you and I'm happy you happy that is what matters
It sucks you have bad feelings towards WI. I'd like to think the people have come a far distance since you were here. Sending you love and happiness from WI.
Wow, I used to live in Milwaukee. Small world lol
I'm currently questioning my sexuality and I'm confused and kinda scared. Not of other people, but just because it's scary not really knowing who you are. I've never talked about this with anyone before this comment. I feel an urge to come out, but I'm not even out to myself yet! I'm not sure why, because I know that I'm more than just a label, but I really want that sense of security and to know for sure "I am _____." I sometimes feel like I'm lying to everyone by not coming out, but at the same time I know I have to fully come out to myself first. I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for here..... I guess just some advice if anyone has any? And a more personal sense of community? Anything is appreciated!
You can always say what you feel is best right now and if things change then that's okay. The beautiful thing about being human is that we progress and change ALL the time, you just need to embrace that and know that any label can change at any time!
Let's go visit our hometowns together DREW❤️❤️❤️
I don't ask people if they are dating a girl or boy I say are you seeing someone I don't ask people if they are gay because it is rude to ask people that I don't care if they're gay or not as long as you're comfortable like who they are and your brother looks like Ricky so much I thought that was him👭👬💑
❤️❤️
Ilysm!
0:11 CAUSE YOU ARE SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
love you Drew♡
drew you are a tru OG
I subscribed,and you are awesome for that,I'm straight tho
always supportive of ppl in lgbt I mean it's 2016(almost 2017) so yeah 👌
I love you 😔
They say I look gay and I am gay Drew
honestly im scared to talk about my sexuality because everyday the neigh hood I live in being gay isn't something that's normal and it's unheared of too and with this new election I've heard that Trump will roll back my rights to marry who I want too. I so scared of the stereotypes I will face. I am thankful I have people like you drew and my cousin to talk to about these things so thank you for being who you are because people these days are afraid to embrace that and we need a representative for the LGBTQ community
Living in those situations can feel so lonely but I hope you know there is always a loving community here to embrace you!
Drew Penkala that's why I watch people like you because it makes me forget that the LGBTQ community is targeted and will always oppressed until something is done about it but anyway I watch people like you and Tyler Oakley to find happiness and forget that there's blaten homophobia and that's why I love all my subscription but my LGBTQ subscription even more💙💚💛💜(I have no red heart but I wanted to have the gay flag in hearts)

I'm glad that you are now happy with your sexuality. Quick question, would you ever date a transgender?
Hi
Your brother kinda looks like ricky 😂
We can pray for homosexuals to be delivered. Look, I'm not here to judge. I just don't understand why people don't realize the truth about spiritual warfare! We need to pray for people to be delivered from this demonic spirit that causes people to go into perverse lifestyle choices. I am not a hateful person, I love people. This is why I want them to know the truth.
wisconsin is chill but it's shit at the same time
BITCH! You're in Boston? BOI, I'm always there.
What does the Q stand for
:)
He's woke as fuck, like... #Dad
